Quad Tall Nonfat Extra Hot 1 Pump Mocha

For the past 3... o goodness I mean 4 (wow) months, I have been on the job hunt. Around mid-July I started the interview process. At the beginning of August I had 10 interviews, all of which resulted in "No" "I'm sorry you don't have any real world experience" "We found someone with qualifications more matching what we are looking for".... Then later on in August the interviews turned to "I'm sorry you're over qualified." OVER QUALIFIED?! I work for Starbucks! I don't mean that in a snobby way. I just mean that right now I am making coffee. I am not a supervisor or a manager, I am simply making coffee. Now for the most part I enjoy my job. I enjoy making drinks, talking with customers and seeing my friends pop through the drive through. But, this is not what I went to school for 5 years for. I keep thinking that at some point something is going to come up that works out. I know that the Lord is teaching me a very valuable lesson right now, I am just having a problem remaining patient that his plan will be better than any I could foresee. I am asking for prayers that I may find the job I am looking for or that my eyes be opened to the career that God wishes me to pursue.



Now on the upside, I get to experience some of the most interesting people everyday. My co-worker and friend Tammy thought of an amazing idea to write a book compiling the stories of fellow baristas. From her stories of ignorant (yet hilarious) people using racial slurs and comments towards her, the 12 pump white mocha man that tells me to make his drink because "when I make it I always slip a finger in and it turns out so sweet" (ICK!) and the teenage boy that brings in his girlfriends only to break up with them in the corner booth the book is sure to be a hit. Perhaps I should start sharing stories on my blog!
